Nashville's All Them Witches conjure a hypnotic blend of psychedelic rock, blues, and doom that feels both ancient and urgently modern. Since forming in 2012, the band has built a devoted following through relentless touring and albums like 'Dying Surfer Meets His Maker' and 'Nothing as the Ideal,' which showcase their gift for expansive jams that can shift from whispered menace to thundering crescendo. Their improvisational live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the most captivating bands in modern heavy psych.
All They Decide delivers death metal and deathcore from Nancy since 2009, representing over a decade of extreme music from the Lorraine capital. Their authoritarian name suits the commanding intensity of their sonic assault.
All Things Fallen explores progressive metal from Borås in Västergötland since 2019. Their comprehensive-collapse name drives compositions of elaborate structural complexity from this western Swedish textile-industry city.
New Jersey heavy metal/grunge act not to be confused with the pop-punk band of the same name. This heavier incarnation channels early 90s alternative metal through a grungy, riff-forward lens.
San Francisco thrash/crossover outfit bringing Bay Area aggression to the modern era. Their debut EP channels the spirit of Municipal Waste and D.R.I. through tight, frenetic riffing.
Corpus Christi, Texas power metal and progressive project. The Nietzschean title channels philosophical weight through melodic metal from the Gulf Coast.
Charleston, West Virginia progressive metal project delivering thoughtful, expansive compositions from the Mountain State. Strangelove showcases ambitious songwriting that reaches beyond typical prog-metal conventions.
An instrumental post-metal quartet from Izegem whose sound mixes dark reverb-heavy patterns, melodic bass lines, and driving drums into a soothing yet tension-filled whole that critics have compared to Russian Circles and Cult of Luna. They released a debut EP in 2014, a split LP with Irish sludge act Raum Kingdom in 2015, and their debut full-length via dunk!records in 2018.
Troy, Illinois death metal project. The name's apocalyptic certainty promises universal collapse from the Metro East.
